Factual error: The game was supposed to be taking place at the Minnesota North Stars' arena. But the Red Wings were wearing home uniforms, which they only wore at the Joe Louis Arena.
Untamed Heart (1993)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Tony Bill
Starring: Christian Slater, Marisa Tomei, Rosie Perez, Kyle Secor
The two would-be rapists get revenge on Adam by beating him up and stabbing him in the stomach behind the restaurant. The doctor tells Caroline that he has a bad heart and he will so need a new heart. Adam refuses to have a heart transplant. The would-be rapists are identified by Caroline. At the end, Adam dies. Caroline opens the present Adam got for her and it is his record collection along with a picture of them together and note behind the photo saying he gave her the records so she could play them and think of him.

Suggested correction: The uniforms are correct. In the NHL, the home team traditionally wears dark uniforms and the visiting team traditionally wears white uniforms. Here, the Red Wings are wearing white uniforms, indicating that they are the visiting team.
From 1970-2003, NHL home teams wore their white jerseys, so the uniforms would be wrong. It wasn't until the 2003-2004 season did home teams start wearing their dark uniforms. The scene was shot at the Met Center, but it doesn't seem to be a real home game since during the 1992-1993 season, the North Stars were never ahead of the Red Wings 4-2 at home (but they did win 4-2 in Dec '92 in Detroit). North Stars did have a 4-2 lead at home in game 3 of the 1992 Playoffs, but were in white.
The film's Met Center scene was shot during an actual game in Minnesota in April 1992, which was the 1991-92 season. The North Stars did indeed wear their "road" black jerseys for select home games that 25th Anniversary season. I know this as I was employed by the team at that time.
Caroline: He was like an angel, you know? I never knew life could be like that. He was the one thing I followed through in my life, the one thing I didn't give up on. I was good at loving him.
